The life of a florist in 2026; social media is imperative to our business. So is photography, photo editing, capturing what the flowers "really" look like in real life. Most of us have not been trained or been taught any of these skills. We are all learning on the fly while trying to adapt to consumer demands and expectations. All while running our businesses and worrying over already slim profit margins, product quality, rising costs, tarriffs, and staying in competition with big chain super stores. I accept this is part of the evolution of the industry. We appreciate each and every customer we have. All I ask is that we are given grace when we can't meet every request, take a picture of every arrangement before it goes out the door, guarantee an exact time stamp for every delivery. We are all trying our best to deliver the longest lasting, most beautiful flowers, at the most reasonable price at the end of every day. Support your local flower shops. All of us.
